Hi everyone,
I am starting to get desperate again. As you may have remembered I was quite active on this board in 2009 and early 2010, but due to a stunning remission in the first part of 2010 I stopped having to post on here (a good goal for any of us I suppose!). I lifted my depression by taking PEA, dosing it many times a day, eventually with a nMAO inhibitor. Unfortunately I became dependent, tolerant of it, and had to dose a total of at my highest 15 GRAMS of it each day in divided doses. The side effects (overfocusing, staying up late, limited self-awareness of my behaviors, not being able to stay on task, losing a job) eventually made me realize I have to go off of it. I'm now stuck at 1.5-2.5grams a day and can't seem to go down, despite being put on 900mg of bupropion.
So I wanted to ask if anyone could share their latest experience with the following drugs. I'd be interested in what your using them to treat, whether they have been effective alone or in combination, and how they subjectively make you feel.
I'm specifically hoping these will help with the following cluster of symptoms I'm getting off of PEA: severe inability to focus/concentrate, low motivation, depression, "reward-deficiency syndrome". Nothing I have taken to date has helped as much as PEA did in the beginning. It gave me my life back, made me optimistic and creative and sociable. I'm hoping one of the following does the same for me either in combination with my current regeime (900 bupropion, 1mg rasagaline, 1-2g PEA, 400mg lamictal, 15mg abilify, deplin, 5mg zyprexa only p.r.n. and a variety of supplaments/vitamins).
Experience with:
- vyvanse (or dexedrine)
- tianeptine
- mirapexThank you. I am getting desperate again. I am fearful the depression will come back with full force and i'll feel like I did all of 2009 when I had ECT and was suicidially depressed and on this board almost every day.
Thanks
